·         14^th  May, 2024 – Resolution, Clare  County Council

“ThatClare County Councilare calling on the Taoiseach of the day Mr. Simon Harris and the coalition partners Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Green Party to address the huge failures in the reconfigured health services established by the Government some years ago and the establishment of the HSE for responsibility in implementing the policy. Health services for the public in Ireland has been led by Health Ministers from Fianna Fail, Progressive Democrats, and Fine Gael for over 24 years and the current model of reconfiguration has been a filature. Recent reports indicate that rural parts of Ireland have been impacted the most and have a higher risk of poor outcomes and this is borne out by the experience of people from Clare attending overcrowded emergency departments and at times having tragic outcomes. People in need of health services from Clare are suffering and there is no evidence to suggest that the reconfigured health service has delivered improved outcomes. I am calling on the Government to urgently address the serious consequences for the public in Clare from the current government’s model of health care.”
